Designing a Cost Effective, High Performance and Highly Reliable Industrial Ethernet Network

Industrial networks have many demands beyond those of traditional business networks. Engineers and others who design Ethernet networks for these applications must follow correct installation procedures and must select network equipment that will function in plant environments with little or no downtime. With careful design, planning and the use of industrial rated components, industrial Ethernet provides harsh environments with a cost effective, high performance and highly reliable network solution.

Download this white paper to learn how to design a reliable industrial Ethernet network for manufacturing applications.

You can also listen to a podcast where Bill Rowan, the vice president of marketing and new product development for industrial Ethernet hardware supplier N-Tron, shows you how to design a more reliable Ethernet system for your manufacturing facility. Topics covered include copper wire versus fiber optics, redundant power suppliers and required switch specifications.
